pincushion sampler platter

I had joined the Pincushion Pass wayyy back when. With the looming deadline, I finally got inspired by all the cute pincushions in the flickr pool. Especially the minis by chickenfoot! Aren’t they cute?! I think the pastel-ish color palette I used makes these look like candy.

Definitely could not make up my mind which style I wanted to try out first, so I figured, why not try them all? Hope my partner will enjoy them.

I think they’d be fun kept together on the cool dish, or if she wants, she can separate them.

Also wanted to sneak in this super mini pincushion that kind of happened by accident. I just wanted to try out Creative Kismet’s tutorial, but made the circle diameter 3 inches across instead of 6, and it is small!

Oh Anna, those are adorable!! Serious eye candy! They are each just so cute and perfect. I have Heather Bailey’s pin cushion pattern (the one with the pear, apple, and tomato) sitting on my sewing table as we speak. I never seem to get around to making them, but you just may have given me the push I needed. Great job!!

These are so cute! I love the colors. I love the button details. That plate is really cool too. Thanks for links to the tutorials…I am going to have to make some of these for myself. What did you stuff them with?

Anna, those are really cute!! I love how they are displayed on a dish. I don’t really use a pin cushion. What you’ve created may be the incentive I need! Even when pins don’t really make it back in the container and somehow find their way to the floor.
